AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE COVER ACT 2015 - SECT 21

Date of classification

  (1)   The first classification of a person under this Subdivision (including a classification made under section   19 because of a determination under subsection   18(2A)) takes effect when the person is medically discharged (even if the classification is not made until after the discharge).

Note:   Subsection   18(2A) applies if a person is taken, under section   31A, to have been medically discharged even though he or she ceased to be a covered ADF member for a different reason.

  (2)   If a person is first classified under section   19 (which deals with substantive classification) as class A, after being classified as class B under section   20 (which deals with interim classification), the classification as class A takes effect:

  (a)   when it is made; or

  (b)   if CSC specifies in writing an earlier day (not before the person is medically discharged) when the classification takes effect--on that earlier day.

  (2A)   A classification made under section   19 because of a determination under subsection   18(2B) of what was a person's incapacity for civil employment at a particular time takes effect at that particular time.

Note:   Subsection   18(2B) applies if a person is taken, under section   31A, to have been medically discharged even though he or she ceased to be a covered ADF member for a different reason.

  (3)   A classification under this Subdivision, except one described in subsection   (1), (2) or (2A), takes effect:

  (a)   when it is made; or

  (b)   if CSC specifies in writing a later day when the classification takes effect--on that later day.

End of classification

  (4)   A classification of a person under this Subdivision, except a classification described in subsection   (5), ceases to have effect when a classification of the person that is made later takes effect.

  (5)   A classification of a person made under section   19 because of a determination under subsection   18(2A) or (2B) ceases to have effect when another classification of the person under this Subdivision takes effect.

Note:   The other classification takes effect before it is made if paragraph   (2)(b) or subsection   (2A) of this section applies.
